The timing of TP53 mutation acquisition carries important prognostic implications for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and myelodysplastic syndromes/MPN overlap disorders. Later emergence of the mutation is associated with significantly worse survival outcomes…

A blood cancer survivor debunks the movie myth of a quick cure, exposing the harsh, lasting side effects that remain after ringing the bell. One phrase I get tired of hearing lately is that something is a process. This word is often over-used and applies to anything from life…

TP53-mutated (TP53-mt) myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are aggressive myeloid neoplasms associated with inferior responses to conventional chemotherapy and a high risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).1-3 Although multiple targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies…

Donor age and type in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Strong effect in MDS, limited in AML

Donor age is an important factor influencing outcomes after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), but its relevance across donor types and distinct disease biology in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) remains unclear. We analysed 320 patients with AML/MDS who underwent first allo-HSCT between 2016 and 2024. Donors were categorized as matched or mismatched and further stratified as young (<35 years) or old (≥35 years).

About

I am a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes and bone marrow transplantation. Every day, I collaborate with my colleagues at the OSUCCC – James to create targeted therapies for each patient. Cancer is complex, but I’m confident our research continues to bring us closer to finding a cure. It’s an honor to work at one of the nation’s premier cancer hospitals. Our collective expertise results in faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients everywhere.

Highlight The 10-year incidence of non-cutaneous SM (6.8%) confirms its impact on late NRM. SM subtype distribution and timing vary by transplant: t-MDS/AML after auto-HCT, PTLD early after allo-HCT. PTLD declined markedly, nearly disappearing in the PTCy era with less ATG/Cord…
